HOW PILLS ARE MADE.

the form Of pills dates far back in
history. The object is to enable us
to swallow easily in condensed
form disagreeable and nauseous, but
very useful, drugs. To what vast
dimensions pill-taking has grown
may be imagined when we say that
in England alone about 1900, 900,
900 (two thousand million) pills are
consumed every year. In early
days pills were made slowly by hand,
as the demand was comparatively
small. To-day they are produced
with infinitely greater rapidity by
machines especially contrived for
the purpose, and with greater ac-
curacy, too, in the proportions Of the
various ingredients employed.
No form of medication can be
better than pill, provided only it
is intelligently prepared. But right
here occurs the difficulty. Easy as
it may seem to make a pill, or a
million Of them, there are really very
few pills that can be honestly COM
mended for popular use. Most Of
them either understood or overshoot
the mark. AS every body takes pills
of some kind, it may be well to men
ton what good, safe and reliable
pill should be. Now, when one feels
dull and sleepy, and has more or
less pain in the head, sides, and back,
he may be sure his bowels are con-
stipated, and his liver sluggish. To
remedy this unhappy state of things
there is nothing like good cathartic
pill. 1t will act like charm by str.
mulating the liver into doing its du-,
ty, and Kidding the digestive organs
of the accumulated poisonous matter.
But the good pill does not grippe
and pain us, neither does it make US
sick and miserable for a few hours
or a whole day. 1t acts on the
entire glandular system at the same
time, else the after-effects of the
pill will be worse than the disease
itself. The gripping caused by most
| pills is the result of irritating drugs
which they contain. Such pills are
harmful, and should never be used.
They sometimes even produce he
morrhoids. Without having any
particular desire TO praise one pill
above another, we may, nevertheless,
name Mother Seigel's Pills, manu-
featured by the well-known house
of A. j. White, Limited, IS, Far
rington Road, London, and now
sold by all chemists and medicine
vendors, as the only one we know
of that actually possesses every de-
sirable quality. They remove the
pressure upon the brain, correct the
liver, and cause the bowels to act
with ease and regularity. They
never grippe or produce the slightest
sickness of the stomach, or any other
unpleasant feeling or symptom.
Neither do they induce further con-
stipation, as nearly all other pills
do. AS further and GROWING
merit, Mother Seigel's Pills are
covered with tasteless and harm
less coating, which causes them to
resemble pearls, thus rendering
them as pleasant to the palate as
they are effective in curing disease.
If you have severe cold and are
threatened with fever, with pains in
the head, back, and limbs, one or two
doses will break up the cold and pre-
vent the fever. A coated tongue, with
brackish taste in the mouth ia
caused by foul matter in the sto-
mach. A dose of Seigels Pills will
effect speedy cure, Often-times
partially decayed food in the sto-
mach and bowels produces sickness,
nausea, &c. Cleanse the bowels
with dose of these pills, and good
health will follow.
Unlike many kinds of pills, they
do not make you feel worse before
you are better. They are, withou,
doubt, the best family physic evel
discovered. They remove all OBJ
structions to the natural functions
in either sex without any unpleasant
